You may have seen the Maytag 906s that I got from Greg. Well, after 40 years they needed some work. The washer needed a new water valve (3 selenoids). Terry Lattz was here while I drove Greg to the airport this summer and the machine malfunctioned (valve stayed open) and overflowed into the laundry room and basement. I suppose I could have fixed it myself, but, luckily knew of a local repair service that I called when this happened. Oh baby baby. When Dan the repairman showed up I almost fainted. When he walked in the back door, he said Wow! when he saw the machines. Not only was he a doll, he appreciated the 906s. After a series of calls he replaced the water valve (which he had in stock, his family has been in the business for 40 years) but also the nylon wheels on the motor mount and the spin brake. I have been having some fun emailing my friends about his visits. I had Terry Lattz visit me this last weekend and decided to have some fun. The dryer motor needed to be replaced so I called Dan and he arrived. Terry took his picture with the machines. Not only do I get to have the machines kept in tip-top shape, I get to have Dan come and service them. I will let Terry comment on the visit. I sure enjoyed it. |

you know the best part is that his amazement of the machines... I had the Frigidaire guy here to fix my set a few weeks back, handsome guy, and super nice, mentioned the site to him and showed him a few of my machines, BUT he never heard of a twin tub, roller/pulse/multi-matic, or never seen a Speed Queen solid tub till he seen mine, and wondered what was the benefit of the older machines, it's just a machine that washes clothes he replied, my thought was "LEAVE THIS HOUSE!"....this boy needed an education, How can some of these guys go to school for this and not know the history of the manufacturers, I'm into cars also, and I prefer an All Wheel Drive, TURBO, fuel injected vehicle in any form, but knowing the basics and how cars have improved over the years helps in understanding form and function......(sarcastic)a corvette is just a car, a kitchen aide is just a dishwasher, a plasma is just a tv, and DAN is just a plain guy...NOT!!! |
